I have no idea whether the pdb file on the handheld is in the same 
format as the pdb file on a computer, but if it is then you might be 
able to use the Palm desktop software to read it by simply transferring 
the file onto a suitable .

If not, then there are a few (449) projects on SourceForge relating to 
"palm treo pdb"; I had a quick look and it seems a few might make it 
easy to extract the data using PHP or Python, or maybe even get a tool 
to do it for you (palm2ics looks hopefuil).
